Beyond the Book @ The Whaling Museum

The library is partnering with The Whaling Museum for its "Beyond the Book" Club! More than a book club, join us as we dive into stories and history through connections with the museum's collection. Meetings are led by museum educators to facilitate talks and share museum artifacts to enhance the discussion. May will feature Spying on Whales: The Past, Present, and Future of Earth's Most Awesome Creatures by Nick Pyenson, which unearths the incredible history of whales, from their small four-legged land ancestors to the ocean-dwelling giants we know today.  In this session, explore the biology of these creatures first-hand through the museum's collection of bones and fossils.  Discover the amazing adaptations that helps whales navigate their marine environment, while learning about modern threats to the future of these animals.
